NSA tracks Google ads to find Tor users
The National Security Agency uses a bit of jiu-jitsu to turn the structure of Web ad networks against people who run Tor to remain anonymous.

#Google is buying Wiz for $32B to beef up in cloud security, sources say
📝 Nate Bear: Google's acquisition of israeli cybersecurity company Wiz will mark the single largest transfer of former Unit 8200 israeli spies into any American company. All Wiz founders are former 8200 as are dozens of staff, from office managers to product analysts to software engineers
Wiz co-founder Ami Luttwak led a "mission critical R&D team" for #Unit8200, a unit that wrote the programming which automated the genocide of Gaza. Luttwak and team won the 'israel Defence Award 2012' for his work in 8200
The other co-founders of Wiz - Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica and Roy Reznik - are all former Unit 8200 members who served beyond mandatory service. I have a list of around 50 former Unit 8200 members who are current Wiz employees

.. Yet it has also raised fears about the security of user data, particularly of those who oppose Israeli actions against its neighbors, given #Unit8200’s long history of using tech to spy on opponents, gather intelligence, and use that knowledge for extortion and blackmail.. .
Google’s purchase of Wiz deepens its already close ties to Unit 8200. In 2013, the tech giant acquired Waze, an online maps service founded by three Unit 8200 veterans, for $1.3 billion. It has also directly hired dozens of former spooks and spies to fill its ranks; a 2022 MintPress News investigation found at least 99 former Unit 8200 agents working at the Silicon Valley behemoth.

#Google Insider Breaks Silence on Tech Giant’s #Military Ties
“Two months ago, in order to take advantage of the federal contracts the corporation can gain under Trump, Google abandoned its pledge not to build #AI for #weapons or #surveillance. In rapid succession, Google then acquired #israeli cloud security start-up #Wiz, pursued partnerships with US Customs and #Border Patrol to update towers by Israeli #war contractor #Elbit Systems with AI at the US-Mexico border, and launched an AI partnership with the largest war profiteer in the world: #Lockheed Martin."
